Xian died uncovering a hidden route in Rozenfall: Romance and Ruin, a fantasy academy dating sim game, neglecting himself in hopes of reaching the game's doomed villainess.

He soon found himself before mysterious entities who were impressed by the dedication that led to his demise. As punishment disguised as a reward, they cast him into the very game world he had obsessed over, tasking him with reaching its so-called True End.

Awakening in the very scene he had finally uncovered, Xian stands before the villainess he had been trying to save. Only for her to order his execution.

His new life ended as soon as it began. But as if it were a cruel joke, he opened his eyes once again, standing before the very same villainess who wanted him dead.

Equipped with the knowledge he accumulated through countless playthroughs, Xian has no intention of following any ending imposed by either the game or the mysterious entities. Instead, he'll pursue what no one had ever achieved in the game, an ending where none of the heroines he cherished are left behind, especially the untouchable villainess.

But the moment he awakened on the villainess' route, Xian realized he wasn't walking the path of the game's protagonist anymore. Every decision now led to outcomes he had never seen in the game.

A blessing in disguise is too good to be true, and what you deem happiness, others may deem madness.
